Ambrogio15 Little Italy

★★★★☆ 3.5 (196) • $$

"Little Italy of course is always our go-to for Pastas or Pizzas. I love how this place mostly the restaurants has a lot of outdoor seating. We dined-in at most of the restaurants here, but we recently tried their LITTLE ITALY FOOD HALL. There are a variety of vendors here like Asian food , Ice cream, pizza, etc. We picked AMBROGIO 15 to visit and we got: *PIZZA BURRATA E PROSCIUTTO CRUDO *PIZZA VEGGIE LOVERWe chose to be seated outdoors 'coz we have our 18-year-old Dog Bambam with us, plus we wanted to enjoy the view of the Plaza. At the time we were there someone was singing Italian songs at the plaza with people dancing to the music. Our pizza was made fast, but I kinda noticed that the Artichokes (My favorite) in our PIZZA VEGGIE LOVER were in bits and pieces, and mostly Diced. I was expecting to see a bigger cut of Artichokes in my Veggie lover Pizza, and it tasted like those Artichokes from the Cans that you can find from the grocery stores. However, the PIZZA BURRATA E PROSCIUTTO CRUDO was DELICIOUS! No complaints on that one. I love Prosciutto, but I'm gonna ask them next time if I can buy more Prosciutto to add to my Pizza 'coz our dog also loves Prosciutto. And ohh the BIG imported BURRATA in the middle was beautiful on the pizza. It was good, but I hope that they were pre-slice 'coz when my son tried to slice some, he actually sliced almost half of the BURRATA for his pizza ;) Between the two pizzas we had, we liked the PIZZA BURRATA E PROSCIUTTO CRUDO, and if ever we are in the area of the Food hall again here in Little Italy, we will still try a few more of their pizza on their menu List."

Elvira

★★★★☆ 4.4 (156)

"Elvira is a cute restaurant and more casual than the sister restaurant Cesarina, even down to the menu which has a big pizza section. My husband and I ordered an appetizer, pasta, and pizza. The appetizer which was a special that night was the most memorable bite. It was an extra large ravioli the size of a large post-it filed with cheese, meat, and mushrooms, then coated in breadcrumbs and deep fried. It was served with a béchamel that was delicious. The cacio e Pepe was superb, perfectly salted, very peppery, and had a nice chew to the pasta. The pizza was our least favorite and don't think we'd order again. It was the Provolona which had sausage, mushrooms, and actual slices of provolone cheese. It lacked flavor, the crust was okay, and was one note. The service was impeccable just as it always is at Cesarina and restaurant itself gorgeous."

Best Pizza & Brew - Cardiff

"June 21, 2024 down in the Encinitas area hanging out with my high school friends celebrating their birthdays. So many great places to eat in the area went to best peace and brew in Cardiff by the sea Even though the pizza smelled delicious display pizza look delicious. We decided to go with a couple of cheeseburgers, french fries and their delicious iced tea has to be the best cheeseburger I've ever had from a restaurant in a long time. The customer service was excellent food was excellent. They opened at 11 AM by the time we gotthere at 11:1115 they were pretty busy goes to tell you that this is a great restaurant to eat and I highlyrecommend. parking. Can be a little tight, but if you could find parking on the street, I do highly suggest."

"First timers.. everything was outstanding! Breadsticks with garlic butter top notch! Family special is an incredible value- wings definitely great tasting, pizza with crust flavoring sets it above the rest! Sauce has a sweetness which I love. Friendly fast and efficient. Everything packed right to go- a must try pizza place!"

Tavola Nostra Pizzeria e Cucina

"It has been a while, but we were driving around aimlessly looking for somewhere to eat that had outdoor seating and was dog friendly. I can't believe I haven't been back! The times I've come, parking was crazy and they were really busy, but on this lazy Sunday, there were tables available on the patio!The friendly server remembered us when she came to say hello. I think she recognized Cako first...LOL! We shared the delicious bruschetta, a traditional pepperoni pizza, and the tagliatelli bolognese, both were very good! Two glasses of chianti and we were good! We had a very enjoyable meal and the people watching was great! There was a drag event going on at Rich's across the street.Cako Approves!"

Filippi's Pizza Grotto Poway

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (411) • $$

"Date of most recent visit: November 4, 2023Review #1450!The family had come here a couple of weeks prior to celebrate my brother's birthday; while we shared the Fit For a King pizza (lots of cheese on that one), I resolved to come back here after donating blood to try one of their sandwiches.I went with the Super Torpedo ($12.65) - this was a pretty good sized sandwich stuffed with ham, capicolla, cotto, hard salami, and provolone cheese on a toasted Italian roll. As there's no sides with the sandwich, I also went with a side of Sicilian olives ($5.15). My food turned out good - I even brought half the sandwich home to share with my father - but it felt like there was something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on. This Filippi's is spacious with a large parking lot. Service is quick enough.I suppose for Italian food, this location is what it is; given how each Filippi's location their own menus, though, perhaps I should stick to the Scripps Ranch location (closer to me... and it has prime rib!)."

Sardina's Italian Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (445) • $$

"I've been coming to Sardinas for a few years and decided to host my baby shower of 40guests this past weekend. Wendy helped me schedule the most memorable lunch menu and upon arrival the patio was set up perfectly for my event. I was also able to setup decorations with plenty of time which was really nice. I got soooo many compliments on the menu!! We had calamari as an appetizer, salad with bread and 3 entrees. The lasagna was the star of the show no doubt. I can't wait to host many more events here, such a gem!!"

Clem's Tap House

★★★★★ 4.7 (194) • $$

"They have a ton of beers, great selection and a full food menu that pairs amazingly well with said beer. That's all good and well but the bang for my proverbial buck comes by way of their SECOND menu to the right of the main bar, where they have a separate menu of about 20 beers, all of which are Belgians.Just leave me here, this is my home now.Good good, great service, friendly and clean atmosphere and, of course, one of the best Belgian beer menus your eyes will ever be blessed with."

Amalfi Cucina Italiana - Carmel Valley

★★★★☆ 4.3 (199) • $$$

"This place is stunning! I loved the food, service, and the live entertainment.... everything! All dishes had beautiful presentation and tasted great, like the Branzino, Pork and Polenta dish, and my Linguine alle Vongone. We tried the octopus to share, which again, was presented and cooked so nicely with the octopus wrapped around the toasted bread. I was relieved the texture was not chewy at all, which I thought it would be. My Linguine alle Vongone had sooo many clams and everything was full of flavor. I demolished the whole dish, no leftovers. Mathieu offered the best service! He was super friendly, always had a smile on his face, and gave us everything we asked for. We went on a Wednesday evening and they have Roman Palacios + band perform live music for a few hours every week. He's amazing! You have to go when he's there. This restaurant itself is pretty. Surprisingly has a lot of seating with both indoor and outdoor (outdoor patio just as stunning). Nice and clean. Highly recommend!"

San Diego Pizza Company

★★★★★ 5 (30) • $

"I threw a party at my house and needed to find someone who could supply the food so I didn't have to worry about anything but entertainment and drinks! I decided pizza was a definite crowd pleaser and found SD Pizza online and decided to give them a call. JT was awesome in helping me plan for everything and communication couldn't have been better. He even emailed me the morning of the event to tell me rain was sadly in the forecast and he would be coming prepared just in case. I ordered appetizers and 4 different kinds of pizza from JT - he set up tables in the backyard and had everything ready for the party. When his time was almost up, he even asked me for some trays of my own to leave us extra pizza for the rest of the night. Amazing tasting pizza and great service - will absolutely look forward to using them again!"

Angry Pete's Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (62)

"Mr. Pete is one of the few genuine business owners out there in a sea of ever constant mediocrity. I first had his Detroit-style pizza at a brewery popup. I finally visited the Kearny Mesa location recently which occupies a former Taco Bell drive-thru and dine-in restaurant. They kept all the former bells and whistles to maintain that awesome element of 90's nostalgia. Motor City is his jam and so many Detroit sports team memorabilia festoons the space. I felt right at home having grown up watching the back-to-back champions, the Redwings, the -- in the words of my father -- "losing" Lions (they takin it all the way this year though!), "terrible" Tigers, and the Pistons (no name to bestow). You'll even spy Detroit-made "pop" called "Faygo" in the fridges. The owner's pride in his hometown is extremely evident! The menu features their Detroit-style pizza but other notable items include their Double Smash Burgers, Detroit Style Coney Dogs, and other Michigan classic comfort foods. You are able to order pizza as a whole pie (8x10 pies or 4-pan slices) or by the slice at $5-6.50ea. During out 1st visit, they weren't in the warmer next to the cash register and it was heated up somewhere in the back. This was the definite preferred method as the pizza slices came out gooey and with crisped up edges. When they are sitting in the warmer under the heat lamp, on the other hand, they are served right away and are definitely without that usual crunch. The smash burger was a surprise sleeper at just $7. Served on a toasted sesame bun, the patties had optimal sear and were not too greasy. Regardless of slight reservations, I have left with nothing but positive vibes. It does one good to support a business owner with what seems like rare passion towards his craft."

The Nolen

★★★★☆ 4 (751) • $$$

"Writing this review after multiple visits and each time have had a pleasant experience. This is an excellent spot for a rooftop bar with all the views, from the water to Petco Park and is also a great pre-game stop before a game. I also appreciate the fire pit and fireplaces because it can get cold up there. Service has been decent and noticed there were a lot of waitresses working this particular day. Food & Drink: It is on the pricier side especially since you're in downtown but they do have happy hour 7 days a week (M-F 4-6pm and Sat-Sun 3-6pm) which is nice. All drinks I've had here were good as well as the food and is in-line with most other downtown establishments. Lastly, this is a great place to take visitors."

Crust Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.2 (166) • $$

"We used to live close to this place and went quite a bit, so when my wife was having her hair done close to Crust all I could think of was that pie there are very few places down in this north county area, where the pizza is exactly how I like it.Thin crust, great ingredients, all fresh, and a variety of how those ingredients are put on the pie. I'm not a big fan of mushrooms or red onions and Scott the manager gets that. So you walk out with exactly the pie and the flavor profile that you want that for me makes a great pizza and a great experience.That's the takeout part. If you're gonna to eat at crust get ready cause it's a party, there's something going on every night and it's really fun. So great pizza great drinks and great fun. That is a win."

Lido's Italian Foods

★★★★☆ 3.9 (900) • $$

"LOCALS ONLY!!!! And I mean it if you don't ready know then it's too late! Lidos is top five dead or alive for it's pizza!!! Along with being a nice Italian restaurant with deep history and roots, the standout by far is there pizza!! I won't go into my usual spill and explain how all of the fresh ingredients come together in a melted symphony of deliciousness..... but what I will tell you is so always get a white sauce pizza with sausage ,olives,onion,fresh basil,fresh garlic!!! Don't play!!!! And you have to get extra fresh Parmesan cheese on the side and it's not fresh because you ask it's fresh because that's WHAT THEY DO!!! (No pre packaged cheese around here) Ok stop by if your 619!!! Otherwise stay out hahaha jkjk (maybe)We love Lidos Pizza!!!!"

Rosaria Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (368) • $$

"We found this place with the help of Yelp. We got excited about the 20% off coupon (on any $20+ purchase). We ordered a pizza and a salad and went to pick it up.The staff was friendly as we picked up the order.The margherita pizza was hand tossed, not thin and crispy, but meaty and hearty. The toppings tasted fresh but the pizza was just ok for me.The antipasto salad was not great...the salami was not rolled up as other places, the chunks of toppings were really big. The dressing was good, but the salad itself was just ok."

CRAFT PIZZA

★★★★☆ 4 (42)

"Okay I know that there are many options in this food hall but do not pass up on this pizza. It is only one size which is definitely shareable with one other person but even if you don't share it is totally worth it! I have had it twice now in the last month and keep craving it because it is super fresh and delicious! The first time I ordered it I got just a classic pepperoni pizza and took the rest home to have it for dinner too. If you are pizza with ranch lover you have to try their ranch it is super good!"

Chicago Bros Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1051) • $$

"Loved their antipasto salad. And love that they have the dressing on the side so you can add as much or as little as you like. I don't generally like a lot of dressing on my salads so this was perfect. We got the thin crust pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Crunchy and the cheese and pepperoni are excellent. Definetly used the pepperoni which is nice because a lot of places don't put much on but they loaded it!!!The egg plant Parmesan spaghetti was very good and I don't generally like egg plant but loved this!!!Their deep dish pizza is amazing (had it years ago) I didn't realize I've never written a review. Very meaty and cheesy!! Superb!!"

San Remo Pizzeria

The Haven Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (588) • $$

"This is the third time we went to Haven. I have eaten all three vegan pizzas on their menu, I think there may be four but I can't remember. My husband had their vegan meatballs with pasta which is also quite good I stole some bites. This is probably the BEST vegan pizza I've had in San Diego so far and I've had a lot of them. They don't overdo the cheese and give you options for some tasty cheeseless pizza too, you won't miss the cheese I assure you. Nice happy hour with those delicious bread knots I've included here which we ended up taking home to go with the dinner I cooked last night. Nice atmosphere although it was a little chilly in there (this review wa.)s written in January 2024) so next time I will bring a sweater. Mission Brewing was closed but I believe they allow you to bring food from restaurants in there, KBC did. We don't usually come to Kennsington but since it's so close to our YMCA we will make it over once in a while to get some delicious pizza and pasta! Lot's of meat stuff too and more traditional carnivore options, I only am writing about the vegan and vegetarian menu because we don't eat meat. Try their house Chianti with a bowl of their pasta and their knots. Nice pairing and quite delicious!"

Fiori’s Pizza

★★★★★ 4.5 (55) • $

"This place makes some very good pizza. I had a couple of slice: a sausage slice and a pepperoni and mushroom slice. They both slices came on the the same crust and the same tomato sauce. Each large slice cost $3.The crust's flavor was mild, but had very good texture. It offered a light crispiness on the outside and with good soft center. It was a thin to medium crust. The sauce was well balance between acidity and sweetness, not much of either, just a good tomato flavor. The sausage on the one slice was very good.They offer a good variety of whole pies and pizza by the slice. At the moment, they do not offer a combo slice deal, but it is in the works. There are a few tables available inside the Pizzeria. Service was super friendly."

A Brooklyn Pizzeria

"Came to pick up a surprise bag order for the first time and chose a Brooklyn Pizzeria. I got two slices of pizza and a chicken roll. The pizza slices come thing but large in size and when I got the order, everything was so warm! I am pretty impressed by their pizza and that chicken roll was super cheesy. The pizza I had came with jalapenos, pineapple, and pepperoni. I thoroughly enjoyed everything and the freshness of the food when I picked it up to go!"

Sammy's Woodfired Pizza and Grill

"We came here for happy hour to eat appetizers and grab a glass of wine. Several appetizers were half off and $2 off beer and wine. It has a great menu. We tried the lettuce cups, mini burgers and meatballs. You should try all these great eats. Everything was great tasting and one house pour of wine was very satisfying. The restaurant is very warm and welcoming while having low intimate lighting. Lexi our waitress, made our dining experience a 5 star experience. She was so friendly and welcoming. Lexi got our food out to us quickly and checked on us often. Service from her was top notch! We loved our dining experience tonight with reasonable happy hour prices. Great job."

"Chillin' with a buddy on the Brewer's Deck level of Sky Deck and ordered a Burratina e Prosciutto (Fresh Burrata, Prosciutto Crudo di Parma aged 20 months, EVOO, Olives, Focaccia) from Ambrogio15 below.Unfortunately, the focaccia bread was a bit too soggy and dense to properly showcase the delicately flavored burrata dollops and prosciutto slices. In hindsight, a crispy thin pizza crust with those toppings would've been the better call!"

La Mesa Pizzaworks

★★★★★ 5 (22)

"La Mesa Pizzaworks is the new kid in town. Not only that, but they are also a Kosher supervised by the San Diego VAAD.I didn't get a whole pie, but some slices to try a variety. I tried the margharita, the BBQ, the "I can't not believe it is pepperoni" slice. All the slices were great. I was particularly fond of the BBQ sauce on one of the slices. I learned it is a house made kosher sauce, and it's delicious! It's definitely a keeper.The plant based pepperoni was great, too. It is a little on the think side, but that promotes a good chew. Its flavor was spot on, and their mind and palate registered pepperoni indeed. The Margharita slice was good, too. The sauce was tasty, and the basil was fresh. The crust on all their pizzas is slightly bready and could use a little chew, in my opinion. It is a very good house made kosher crust.They offer a good amount of inside seating. The menu consists of pizzas, leafless salads, appetizers, soups, pastas, and my favorite: calzones, which I look forward to trying on my next visit. The service was very friendly."

Pizzo's Pizzeria at Millenia Otay Ranch

"Wow. The reviews are not wrong about place! Pro tip: make a reservation on the open table app. This place is popular and busy! You'll thank me later.Came here on a Tuesday night for my husband's 30th birthday. We were greeted by two sweet hosts who read my requests thoroughly from the open table app. We love people who pay attention to detail! They had a high chair ready for my daughter and table waiting for us. We were seated next to the kitchen where we can see all the magic happen lol. I didn't plan it, but we came here during happy hour 3-6 PM. Drinks and apps were a little cheaper so we got a few. I love Their margarita. The lavender mule had a subtle lavender taste, it was delicious. The Artichokes were tasty! I loved the stuffed red peppers it came with. The food was amazing. We had zio's penne pasta and the classic Neopolitan pizza. The kids menu is not shown, but our amazing server Natalia kindly explained the kids options. Our daughter had spaghetti and a meatball. The meatball was huge and tender. It paired well with the spaghetti. The spaghetti sauce was sooo good and sweet. Alright - I saved the best for last: tiramisu was delicate. It was velvety, melt in your mouth good. One of the best tiramisu's I've ever had! We're excited to come back here without our daughter! lol. Date night.Ambiance is extremely loud - but nice vibes!"

Isola Pizza Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1363) • $$

"I'm so glad we made it here for a very late dinner after an unplanned nap. We ended up arriving around 8:50 PM and were seated indoors in just a few minutes without a reservation. And let me tell you, I would have been disappointed not tasting this pizza after having tasted it. LOL, brain twister. After returning from my trip to Italy in high school, I became a pizza snob. So every trip I pick only one special pizza place to visit, and Isola was it for this vacation. I love Neapolitan thin pizza, but I love it when I get a decent amount of chewy crust. This pizza hit the mark! Maybe it could have been cooked for three seconds less, but otherwise, the bottom looked perfectly cooked, and the amount of crust hit the spot. Also, you can tell when a tomato sauce is high quality, and this one was. The pizza was pretty close to a 9.5/10.Always secondary is the restaurant vibe, lol. I'm just there to eat my pizza. But this restaurant has a cool aesthetic (see the bathrooms), and wine bottles and big cans of tomatoes lining the back walls. The booth/table was comfy.Overall, get the pizza!! That's all you need to know."

Amalfi Cucina Italiana

"We had a birthday dinner here last weekend, at a table for eight. We enjoyed the view, the service was very friendly, and the food was great. We had cocktails - loved the Old Fashioned - and mocktails. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer and the clams and mussels which were very generous - ask for bread to soak up the broth! We also had salad. I think we all ordered pasta for our main course, so we had a variety and enjoyed it all (though I would have preferred capellini instead of bucatini). Didn't try the dessert - we had brought our own cake - but they did bring us plated and a knife.We will be back!"

Mystic Grill & Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (404)

"This place has been rock solid in all my visits. Although they have been wildly spaced apart, nothing has changed a bit. Consistency is totally important, and they get this. It sure has been nice to see a worthy Mediterranean spot thriving after all these years. It all started a decade? ago with the pizza, at the time the new spot nearby with the great value. I felt it was a healthier style of pizza, with and thinner crust, less cheese and heavy toppings. However, I do remember if you order pepperoni on your pizza, it is beef pepperoni. This will be different tasting of course, and have ordered mostly veggie options since. I believe a large 2- topping pizza is an ongoing deal for only 7.99.Over the years, we moved on to falafel, hummus and the shawarma platter which have all been tasty and prepared well, my favorite being the hummus. For sure, I'm no hummus guru, but among the many(10 at least)I've tried, it is the best I've had! Amazingly smooth and creamy, with a slight nutty flavor that's unparalleled. I make sure I have extra pita bread at the ready to finish it off the following day..Next up, the desserts and baklava. You will finish whatever you bite.. so tasty good. For some reason, I never posted pics of any of these it appears and I can only guess it was a dessert- first kind of day. Are you with me?A good incentive now is it's within walking distance for me- a plus too, since this is a new, fresh way to burn a few calories and save gas with the ridiculous prices we are experiencing."

Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1583) • $$

"THICCCCCC CRUST(5 stars) ... eating on a budget.I haven't had Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria since 2013 in San Francisco. It's been existing in SD but have always route my pizza craving to thin crust New York style pizza. But after a recent visit here, I forgot how thiccc pizza has good offerings as well. My second order of TooGoodToGo was from this place. My surprise bag was $3.99. Parking was extremely difficult due to its location being in North Park aka No Park. But they were on time with prepping the pickup. My surprise bag... in this case, my surprise box came with (3) slices of pizza. At first I thought it was one pizza, then I saw two, and then I saw three! 2 deep dish and 1 regular. The crust here is amazing! I could eat the crust by itself - drizzle some honey to cut some of the acidity from the tomato sauce and eat it with the crust. PEPPERONI DEEP DISH - yum! It was hard to see the pepperoni as it was deep in the dish. VEGGIE DEEP DISH - yum! Veggie pizza sounds boring BUT all the veggies really shined on this pie. Layers and layers of cheese, pizza sauce, and veggies. CHEESE THIN & CRISPY - it was basic, not super thin but on the thin side. Tasted average. What I liked about the pizza is that it didn't get hard and stale when saving the pizza in the fridge. After a quick warm up the pizza tasted exactly as it should."
